However, there is also evidence that learning plays a role in shaping phonological knowledge ” and not just by ˜pruning away™ unwanted ˜phonological representations,™ as Eimas (1975) hypothesized, but also by shaping the precise boundaries of adult phonemic categories.

It could be argued that there is a genetic foundation for variations in phonological processing skills – some people seem to naturally tune in to speech sounds, and others seem to have difficulty examining and manipulating the phonemes in speech.

The brain struggles with what's called "phonological processing" — being able to distinguish and manipulate sounds, like "bah" and "pah," that eventually have to be linked to written letters and words.

In this section, we will look at a case, namely phonological learning, in which the existence of a sensitive period has received much press, and in which the inference from sensitivity to the existence of language-specific innate information has been made explicitly (see Eimas 1975).
